The product mix for the event will be 6 Innistrad boosters per player for the Sealed Deck portion, 3 Innistrad boosters per player in the Top 8 draft. If the event is run February 3, 2012 or later, the product mix for the event will be 3 Innistrad and 3 Dark Ascension boosters per player for the Sealed Deck portion, 1 Dark Ascension and 2 Innistrad boosters (in that order) per player in the Top 8 draft.
